Friday July 10th, 1998

Coca Cola Company launches a new Citrus soft drink called “Surge” and holds a sweepstakes event called “ A Surge Around The World; Splash Contest”. 

On this date, double platinum R&B artist, Aaliyah Haughton, stands at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport and does the honors of randomly drawing the name of 20-year-old winner, Fadel Abdulha of Burbank, Calif in front of many sweepstakes participants and fans. 

The winner and his accompanied entourage (his two brothers; Bob and Sarkis Abdulha) board a private jet headed to Moscow, Idaho for lunch and spend the rest of the day hanging with Aaliyah. - what a lucky guy! 

DID YOU KNOW: Surge was created by Coca Cola to compete with Pepsi’s Mountain Dew and was launched February 7th 1997. Despite efforts to lure customers away from Pepsi, Coca Cola shut down production of SURGE (due to lack of sales) in 2003. It was a popular Facebook fan-page called "SURGE Movement" which convinced Coca-Cola to re-release the soft drink on September 15, 2014. Occasionally, this fan page shows love to Aaliyah sporting the Surge outfit on her birthday and anniversary of her passing.

Today (July 22nd 2022) we’ve gotten the sad news that Núria Feliu has died at 80 years of age.

She has been one of the most important and popular Catalan singers since the 1960s. She has published 42 albums with traditional Catalan songs, boleros, ballads and cuplets (light-hearted music from the late 19th and early 20th centuries) and she was also the one who popularized American music like jazz and country, which was little known here before her and had never been sung in Catalan.

She always defended the Catalan language, in fact she defended that she sang jazz and chanson in Catalan because it’s a language equal to others that can be used for everything. She was also a defender of Catalan independence and women’s freedom. In fact, she was one of the first women in Catalonia to get a driving license, back in the 1960s.

Today in history, July 6, 1957: John Lennon and Paul McCartney meet

“I remember John singing a song called ‘Come Go With Me.’ He’d heard it on the radio. He didn’t really know the verses, but he knew the chorus. The rest he just made up himself. I just thought, ‘Well, he looks good, he’s singing well and he seems like a great lead singer to me.’ Of course, he had his glasses off, so he really looked suave. I remember John was good.” -Paul McCartney

“Paul met me the first time I did Be-Bop-A-Lula on stage. And a mutual friend brought him to see my group called The Quarrymen and we met and talked after the show and I saw he had talent, he was playing guitar backstage and doing Twenty Flight Rock by Eddie Cochran and I turned around right on first meeting and said ‘do you wanna join the group?’ And he said hmm hmmm…and I think he said yes the next day. As I recall it.” -John Lennon
